The
Niagara County Auxiliary Police is hosting an open house event for
upcoming NCAP and New York State Peace Officer academies. The open
house will be held on Sunday, Dec. 16, from noon to 4 p.m. at the
Niagara County Emergency Management Facility, 5574 Niagara St. Ext.,
Lockport. Individuals interested in becoming a recruit who attend the
open house can speak with current members of the NCAP and NCAP
administration/officers about what is required.

The
NCAP will have an informational table set up in the Fashion Outlet
Mall, 1900 Military Road, on Saturday, Dec. 15, from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. and from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 16. Current members of
the NCAP will be present to answer questions about upcoming academies
and collect items of warmth (winter hats, gloves, scarves and
mittens) for local shelters and community organizations. New or
slightly used items will be accepted.

The
NCAP serves the community by assisting with local law enforcement.
All members are sworn peace officers and on average receive
approximately 170 hours of academy training and state peace officer
certification provided at no cost.

To
apply, potential recruits must be residents of Niagara County,
citizens of the U.S., age 21 or up, and submit to multiple background
checks. Men and women interested in applying to the NCAP can also
